Acid Reflux occurs when stomach acid flows back into the oesophagus, causing symptoms like heartburn, a sour taste in the mouth, chest discomfort, and regurgitation. When it becomes frequent, it's known as gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD).
Acid Reflux is very common, affecting up to 1 in 5 adults in the UK. It can occur occasionally or become chronic, especially in individuals who are overweight, smoke, consume alcohol or have certain dietary habits.
It’s caused by a weakening or relaxation of the lower oesophageal sphincter, the muscle that keeps stomach contents from rising. Triggers include spicy or fatty foods, caffeine, alcohol, large meals, smoking, and lying down soon after eating.
Press Pharmacy offers Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) like Omeprazole and Lansoprazole, which reduce the production of stomach acid and provide relief from symptoms. These are taken once daily and are suitable for short-term management.
Common side effects include headaches, nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, or constipation. Long-term use may reduce absorption of certain nutrients like magnesium or vitamin B12. Always read the patient information leaflet and follow dosage guidance.
Press Pharmacy offers safe and quick access to effective acid reflux treatment. Our licensed UK prescribers review every case individually to ensure suitability, and we deliver your medication discreetly and conveniently to your home.
